Chapter 251: Lovers

Hello everyone, translator here. I'm back rested and ready to go. If the title of the chapter hasn't given it away already then let me say this is the first chapter that foreshadows the harem tag that many of you have been dreading. So far (at least for this release of 25 chapters) I can say it doesn't become to degenerate or really shift from the tone much the R18 can be considered more fan service than anything and after about 2 or 3 chapters the story goes right back into non-love related plot. So far there is just 1 lover for the MC but that may change in the future.

I have always said that the moment I read any bit of the story that confirms that harem tag I would make updates to the book and I have. If this is where you get off I completely understand and wish you the best of luck finding an awesome book you can enjoy.

For everyone else please enjoy this weekend release of 25 chapters. If you run accross anything that made it through my initial edit as always please leave paragraph comment and I will get to it as soon as I can to make changes.

Have a great weekend :)

Arianne gently kissed his cheek, opening her bright eyes to gaze intently at him from close range, then softly whispered with her lips slightly parted.

"My love."

The sound of quill scratching on parchment filled the room as Viserys sat in his chair, writing the last word on the paper. He then put down his quill, looking up at the beauty sitting beside him.

"Arianne."

Viserys reached out to hold the slender waist of the young girl, pulling her into his embrace. Arianne let out a soft gasp, then fell into Viserys' arms.

The flames in the room's fireplace could not compare to the warmth of the beauty in his arms. Viserys held Arianne, looking down at her face, while the Dornish girl gazed back at him with her dark eyes.

The young man's silver-gold hair fell onto her ample chest, his light purple eyes sparkling. He then leaned down to kiss her deeply.

The girl in his arms let out a moan as if sinking into a quagmire, then completely surrendered herself. After a while, she released him, panting slightly, her eyes full of adoration.

After several months together, it was only natural that Arianne and Viserys' relationship had progressed to that of lovers.

Viserys needed Dorne.

Just as he needed the Golden Company.

"My love, when will I be able to meet Rhaenys and little Dany?" Arianne, lying in Viserys' arms with her arm around his neck, looked into his eyes and asked.

She was eager to meet Viserys' family. She knew that Viserys had a sister and a niece.

Rhaenys Targaryen was her aunt's daughter, making her Arianne's cousin. She knew the 'rules' of House Targaryen; Viserys could not have just one woman, he had to ensure the purity of the Targaryen bloodline.

However, Arianne didn't mind. The customs of Dorne were such that keeping mistresses and bastards was not a big deal. What Arianne and Dorne wanted was the title of Queen of the Targaryens.

So she wanted to establish a good relationship with her cousin Rhaenys in advance, which would be a help in the future, as Rhaenys also had Dornish blood.

"Soon," Viserys replied, raising an eyebrow at Arianne's question.

He looked at the expression on her face, seemed to ponder something, then nodded. "I will bring Rhaenys and Dany here."

"Really?"

"That's great."

The Dornish girl stretched lazily in Viserys' arms, then sat up. She kissed his cheek again, then stood up, her slender hand still on his shoulder.

"This afternoon, I plan to go out of the city with the Sand Snakes. Would you like to come with us?"

"Where to?" Viserys asked curiously from his chair.

"The Sunrise Gate."

The largest gate in Pentos was called the Sunrise Gate. It was outside this gate that Khal Drogo had fought fiercely after the accidental death of Khal Baelor, and where Drogo had sought to challenge Viserys, who was not at the Sunrise Gate at the time, and thus found nothing.

"Oh?"

Viserys thought for a moment, then nodded. "Sure."

He had plans to go there this afternoon anyway.

The Red Temple was located near the Sunrise Gate, and Melisandre had already arranged to meet him there.

...

By the afternoon, Viserys was riding his

white warhorse, while the white mare he used to ride had been given to Arianne.

"I'll go ahead, my love," Arianne kissed Viserys' cheek.

Viserys nodded slightly, and the girl spurred her white horse towards the Sand Snakes, who had been waiting for her for some time.

They were planning a hunting trip today.

Dornish girls were different from women in other parts of the Seven Kingdoms. Because of their relatively equal status, girls also had inheritance rights.

So they could choose to wield swords and spears, rather than just sitting at a dressing table being a lady.

Like their father, the Sand Snakes were all skilled fighters and experts in poisons. Arianne herself was a decent horsewoman and fighter.

So their only hobby in Pentos was hunting.

Even though they liked adventure, Viserys still sent a group of guards to protect them, to prevent any accidents. After all, Arianne's position was very important.

The young king with the golden crown sat on his horse, the golden sunlight reflecting off him.

Viserys watched the Dornish girls and their guards leave, then slowly turned his gaze away.

At that moment...

The sound of hooves...

Melisandre, the red priestess , rode a black horse to his side, taking Arianne's place after she left.

The breeze stirred Melisandre's coppery hair, then she turned her head and said, "Princess Arianne Martell is noble, she is one of the best candidates to be queen."

"But she is not destined to be queen."

"Hmm?"

Viserys had just turned his gaze away, and when he heard Melisandre's words, he turned to look at her.

Melisandre looked straight ahead, her gaze calm as she met Viserys' eyes, then after a few seconds, she seemed uncomfortable and looked down.

"Why do you say that?" Viserys was silent for a while, then looked again at the distant figure of Arianne leaving. The cold wind stirred his hair, and he turned to look at Melisandre and asked, "Are you reading her face or her palm?"

"Have you learned to divine now?"

He didn't believe in fate.

Because his fate had already changed. If he really followed fate, he should still be with his sister, being passed around among the noble families of Pentos.

But now those noble families of Pentos had been wiped out by him, and he had become the master of Pentos.

"I..."

"I don't know."

However, when faced with Viserys' question, the red priestess clearly hesitated for a moment, then shook her head.

She didn't understand the 'face reading', 'palm reading', and 'divination' Viserys mentioned.

But by understanding the words, she seemed to grasp the general idea.

"I just follow the instructions of the Lord of Light," Melisandre hesitated for a moment before saying.
